Is the footprint available somewhere. Free? Does the Pads Cad footprint tool create that correctly, if I really need to use it. Or is it possible to import/export the footprint from Eagle. I don't have Eagle Cad, and I am not too eager to install it for nothing.

Hi mich.lei,

Are you looking for footprint other than what is available in

http://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/datasheet/96/ed/61/9b/e0/6c/45/0b/DM00166116.pdf/files/DM00166116.pdf/jcr:content/translations/en.DM00166116.pdf

?

In this datasheet, Figure 101 and Table 123 may bring you some help.

I was looking for the easiest way to get that footprint into a Pads Cad package.

I hesitate doing it myself because there is not much room for errors. I thought that Eagle PWB files for 746 Discovery board would be available, but they are not. Only gerber files which do not help.

I think I have to make the footprint my self, allthough I rather not, or use the flatpack version.
